Sometimes I will stop and write letters to all of you just to let you know what’s going on with me or even just to say thank you. Some of them are my experiences from day to day and some are about what I’m doing next or just pages from my journal. I’m sorry that I don’t write often, but because I write all of them myself, and with my schedule… well you know how it is.

So, if you want to get them emailed to you personally, just sign up for the mailing list at the bottom of this page. I appreciate you.

I personally don't think it's fair that someone as rich as her can steal another person's dream spot. There are tons of people in this world who just "want to act" or "just want to sing" and their dreams don't come true like that. This is Whitney Houston's daughter, this girl doesn't need to do another thing in her life. Her life has been fantastic enough from birth. Tyler you struggled to get into this business. You wasn't just given a part just because. It saddens me to see this. Tyler I normally agree with all your work and support your movies. This time I must say, I turn the other way. No longer will I support. View More

Tyler Perry, WOW!!! I have no idea how you have remained calm through this but I have just read 3 pages of comments from so called "grown folks" and I am blown away how these people have let this one girl get their emotions all out of wack. Kim Kardashian is NOT God!! She is just a person just like the rest of us who I am QUITE SURE have done some nasty things is our past it just wasnt put out for the world to see....but GOD SAW AND HE KNOWS and could've allowed our business to be put on front street. But some of us get so "saved" that we forget I slept around too, I made stupid decisions, I drank, I smoked, whatever the case was ALL HAVE SINNED AND COME SHORT OF THE GLORY!! I see no reason to boycott or choose to not support anything else that Tyler does. It's ridiculous! What if God chose not to bless us because of our past and punish us instead? Think about carefully...alot if not most of us would be sitting in a padded room somewhere wearing a jacket that makes you hug yourself. But Im soooo glad God is not like MAN! He forgives but we who are "supposed to be like him" choose to judge and persecute. I am amazed by the ignorance displayed in majority of the comments I read. Some of you even resorted to using profanity?!? REALLY??! Come on, it is really not that deep. Some of you need to brush the dust off your bible and remind yourself of the forgiveness of our Savior. Remember the woman caught in the VERY ACT of adultery and by law should have been stoned and Jesus himself said " He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone." All of them left one by one, none of them could comdemn her and Jesus said to the woman that he also would not comdemn her and to go and sin more. If you need another example the criminal being crucified with Jesus asked him to remember him when he came into His kingdom and without hesitation or an assessment of his past Jesus said that "this day shalt thou be with me in paradise." There are sooo many others I could go on and on and on. Just understand that when God forgives that's the END of it and he doesn't bring it up again, he casts as far as the east is from the west. LET IT GO PEOPLE! Kim Kardashian has done nothing to any of you saying such harsh things about her. Why don't you pray for her (remember? the same way someone prayed for you?) that God will save and deliver her so that she can be used for His glory...because He can because HE IS GOD not any of you. You have neither a Heaven or H*** to put her in, just secure your seat in the kingdom. Because despite all our mayhem and foolishness He still loved on us! Check yourselves and get the beam out of your own eye. Sorry Tyler, I just had to go in on these folks just a little bit LOL! I still love and support you because you are letting your light shine by giving those a chance who others turn away just like someone we know named JESUS!! Peace and Blessings to you!! (praying for your strength as well) Christa ;) View More

Tyler, I commend you for your stand and your heart to bring healing to a community/my community that has been hit by divorce, abuse, drugs, neglect and the like! But I'm not sure I agree with you keeping Kim Kardashian in your movie. I don't beleive she married for love, nor do I think she cares about anyone other than herself. Is there hope for all? Yes. Should she be given a chance? Yes. But I also believe this might be a good opportunity for her to realize that you can't do people and marriage any kind of way. Maybe a slow d** from the top will bring her back to reality! Of course you will do what you want, but be ready if your fans don't like the decision you make! ~Tera View More

I was driving in to work this morning and I started thinking about all the days I dreaded going to work. I was so sick of it… the job, my boss, the people I worked with, the traffic… I would wake up angry every morning. I didn’t want to deal with the crap of the job, but I was forced to go. I had been homeless, I was broke, living paycheck to hopefully the next paycheck. I couldn’t take a day off for fear I would get fired. I was just frustrated. I thought I hated my life and the job.

It was so aggravating because God had placed all these dreams and hopes in my soul and mind and I had no idea how they were going to come to pass. To have a dream of being something better and living better than the way I was at that moment and to not see a way of getting there felt like death to me. I thought, “Dear God, why would you give me so much hope and not make a way?” But what I learned through prayer was, with no path in front of you and no road map… this is where true faith begins. With faith I realized that I wasn’t frustrated with my life or the job, I was frustrated because I was a person who had dreams for myself, a person who had visions for my life and I wasn’t living it. Have you ever been there, where you felt so strongly that there was more to this life than what you see in front of you?

One of the most difficult things about being a dreamer is the fear that the dream will never happen. I’m here as a living witness to tell you your dreams can come true. You can’t give up. And I am here to let you know that everything can work together for your good. The time that you are spending on that job that you think is a dead end is not. You’re being prepared just like I was. I was a shoeshine boy, I worked as a bill collector, a used car salesman, in housekeeping in a hotel, and they all were preparation for where I am now.

What do these things have to do with where I am now? I’m glad you asked. I am able to use skills that I learned. I shined shoes, so I know how to shine my shoes if I need them to look nice. Selling used cars was a great way to learn how to close a deal. Bill collecting taught me great negotiation skills. Working at that 5-star hotel taught me a lot about travel. Every experience in your life is here to teach you something.

Today, while you’re at work, don’t be frustrated. Look around you and ask God what are you there to learn and how will it be a part of your future dream. Honor that job, do the best you can at it, because God will bless you for honoring something that belongs to another.

I hope this inspires you today. If you need a little more inspiration then watch my first sit-down interview in years with Oprah on Oprah's Next Chapter. It airs this Sunday on OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network at 9/8c. I talk a little about not giving up. I know it will move you.

Here’s a prayer for today: “God help me hold on, help me to get to what I dream of, help me to honor where I am today so that I can appreciate where I will be tomorrow. In Jesus' name.”

Hi Tyler Perry. This story was directed to me personally and thank you, thank you and thank you. Because I will keep on. I started a good business that grossed about usd 200 000 in 10 months and i went down just like that. I was actually giving up and thinking that maybe i should go back to work. But tell you what, I am going to go on with my dream and start again till I succeed. I remember your words very well, no fear, i should just plant and not worry about the weather, the rain and all but just to believe. May God bless you continuously.

GREETINGS TYLER, I JUST WANTED TO PERSONALLY THANK YOU FOR THE FRUSTRATED DREAMER POST. THIS HAS TRULY BLESSED MY SOUL IN MORE WAYS THAN YOU CAN EVER IMAGINE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TRANSPARENCY AND OBEDIENCE TO SHARE YOUR STORY. I KNOW WITH OUT A SHADOW OF A DOUBT GOD HAS CALLED ME TO BIRTH SO MUCH THAT I CANT EVEN FATHOM. UNFORTUNATELY, I ALLOWED THE DEVIL TO CREEP IN HERE RECENTLY AND BEGIN TO DOUBT DUE TO MY CURRENT SITUATION AND THERE IS NOTHING MORE FRUSTRATION THEN A VISIONARY WITH NO RESOURCES AND CLUE HOW IT WILL COME TO FRUITION. BUT THE POST IS QUITE POWERFUL AND INSPIRING TO KEEP MY EYE ON THE PRIZE AND REST ON HIS PROMISE TO WRITE THE VISION AND MAKE IT CLEAR THO IT TARRY WAIT ON IT. AGAIN THANK YOU AND MAY GOD CONTINUE TO GRANT YOU HIS FAVOR AS YOU POUR INTO OTHERS.

Hi Mr.Perry I can't tell you how much you are an inspiration to me.I have watch all of your shows and I can tell you it's like you have been peeking through my windows.I have been through so much in my life.I feel like I got so much ideas I can really share with you.I just need a chance to let it out.My life is like a movie.So Mr.Perry I am asking you to please give me a chance.Before asking for this opportunity I went down into prayer asking GOD to please let me be heard where I can express my ideas.I am not asking to be a star I just feel like what I went through it could really help someone else.

WELL TYLER, I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START...ALL MY LIFE I BEEN A GIVER NOT A TAKER BUT N THE WHOLE SCENARIOS I BEEN THROUGH AT AGE OF 40 HAS NOT ADVANCED AT ALL IN LIFE. WHAT IT HAS DONE IS SCARRED ME WITH HURT & THE FEELING OF BEING UNLOVED. I'M CURRENTLY IN SCHOOL TRYING TO GRADUATE IN HOPES OF OWNING A DAYCARE. I HAVE NO IDEAL HOW TO WRITE A PROPOSAL FOR THE GOVERNMENT FOR FREE GRANTS FOR OPENING A SMALL BUSINESS OR KNOW ANYONE TO HELP ME GET THERE? I HAVE DREAMS OF BETTER LIFE FOR ME. I ALSO HAVE SONETHING FROM CRIMINAL JUSTICE AND LIKE TO WORK WITH CHILDREN THAT ARE TROUBLE BUT I FEEL MORE EDUCATION IS NEEDED IN THAT AREA. I WANT HAVE A FOR-FILLING LIFE THAT I NEVER HAD. I NEVR BEEN ON VACATION OR FAMILY REUNION MOST OF MY FAMILY IS DECEASE. I DO NOT KNOW WHERE MY FAMILY LINE RUNS. I MITE BE SOME KINE TO FLOYD MAYWEATHER THE BOXER, JUST DON'T KNOW. WHAT HURTS ME SO...I HAVE LET PEOPLE BORROW 1,518.00 WHICH I KNOW THATS NOT ALOT AND I HAVE TRYED TO REACH THEM TO ASK FOR PAYMENT BUT THEY WILL NOT RESPOND.

ONLY GOOD FOR 6 MORE WEEKS AND I'M STILL IN SCHOOL TRYING TO GRADUATE IN DEC. 2014. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ME & MY SON GOING TO DO???? ALL I CAN SAY LORD TAKE THE WHEEL. I SURELY NEED SOME TYPE OF HELP WHILE I'M PRESSING THROUGH LIFE. KEEP ME IN PRAYER. I HAVE NO CLUE...SAD & FRUSTRATED. mY LIFE WOULD BE INTERESTED MAYBE FOR A MOVIES TYLER.

I have always felt like God had so much more in store for my life. I sing, I write, I go to church sundays and try to be present during the week for bible study. Life hasnt been great been molested, beaten, raped, homless, continous lack since my health took me out of the work force wanna hear something funny thats not, I had to apply for disability mother of four children 35 years of age on third go around. I feel God want to use me in new creative, innovative unreal ways, I feel connected to you like God said your an angel in position to be a blessing to the world through your gifts and im like-minded in the fact through it all i aim to entertain. I pray that the Lord keeps you covered at all times in everything that you think, do, or say! Circumstances and hardships can break us down and destroy the very good nature inside of us if we allow it to, its funny through all the ups and extreem downs, highs and lows

Mr. Perry my name is Torrance. Ive enjoyed several of your movies but I took a special interest in the one called MR GOOD DEEDS. I wrote my first book last year which is based off of experiences, downfalls, and hope. Its not your typical of someone doung bad, then ends up doing good. However, its more Real and at its highest level of originality. Based off some true events that actually happened in my life, as well as some that didnt; I really feel that it would make an excellent, deep, movie, especially with someone like you and your expertise involved. The name of my book is called Lessons Learned. Its on lulu.com. and I was interviewed by a College radio station about it which can be viewed by googling LessonsLearned by Torrance. Id really appreciate it if you could check it out and let me know what you think. My number is 678 608~9218 Torrance. Thankyou.

Good morning/afternoon my name is Guilene Petit-homme, a 21year old Haitian/Bahamian that currently resides in Miami, Fl. I am a young woman who lives by the quote "failure is never an option". I currently live in a Haitian populated community in Miami known as Little Haiti. To give a quick background, I graduated from the infamous Miami Edison Senior High, where I was the Student Government and Nation Honor Society president. I currently attend Miami Dade Collage, where I obtained my A.A. degree in Criminal Justice. I am truly inspired by your life accomplishments and obstacles you've over-came before reaching where you are today. You have taught me to chase my dreams and never give up no matter what obstacles are placed in front of me. I have always wanted to put my business mindset to great use, that will benefit the children and families within my community. Throughout my senior year, I was given numerous monetary gifts from organizations who believe I was worth investing in because I had a purpose. I have always made it a great deal to excel at everything I do. You are probably wondering why am I writing you. The reason behind everything is I need help. i have created this great organization mentally. An organization that will allow young scholars of different ethnicities and backgrounds within my community a chance to excel in school, extra curricular activities, and even beyond the doors of collage. I have all ready established a name, "Beyond all Measures Incorporated. In addition, I have registered it with the state of Florida, written my bylaws, and mission statement. I even have a location in mind, it is a privately owned building known as the historical Lemon City Post Office. The only reason I am skeptical about pursuing this opportunity is, I do not want to make drastic decision that can cause my dream to tumble. I wanted to know if you would you be able to mentor or help me throughout this journey on making this great idea a successful business. I have been in contact with other individuals that thought it was a great idea and offered their help and never respond back. If you are wondering why I chose you, it's because you have portrayed to society that life is filled with great opportunities and you will never be able to reach your goals if you never make the initiation. Before you accomplished your dreams you had others that took it off the pedestal, but that never set you back. I see that as the greatest accomplishment someone can have, to take your dreams and make it a reality even when others did not believe in you. I would really appreciate if you take a few minutes out of your day to help me. it's a dream I have had for years and it would be great to work with someone that believes in others and not just themselves. You would be a great mentor.

Dear Mr. Perry My name is Sydney Ray and my little daughter Sydney is a beautiful, outgoing, happy, and precocious 19 month child. I know you heard every parent speak glowingly about their child but, Sydney, truly is a special and talented child. She was born 1 November 2012 and started talking two months later (16 January 2013)! I know this sounds a bit far fetched but, I assure you this is true as I have the video of her talking. Sydney is now reciting Chinese words to me and she only 18 months. As a Staff Sergeant in the United States by nature I am conditioned not to be impressed but, I must admit that cannot help but be taken by her presence and passion for learning. We are frequently stopped about how beautiful Sydney is Many of my friends continuously suggests that I she should be on commercials or possibly on television. I truly believe that you would be very impressed with Sydney. Can you help me build and guide a path on whatever opportunities GOD may bless Sydney. If you like I can send several pictures and video (also the one with her talking) Sincerely, Sydney Ray

Hello and good day to you Mr. Perry, I wish to speak to you personally in regards to a movie summary I crafted together and I certainly want YOU to direct it. I truly believe your comical humor, your talented actors, and underlying messages portrayed in the themes of your movies suit best for the summary of my drafted "skit". I hope you can contact me soon so we can discuss the matter :) God bless! lhernandez1014 @ gmail.com
